The Big Beautiful Bill is a Big Stinky Turd


Guess what, USamericans? We've got another piece of bad legislation to worry about. In this case, it's HR-1, the "Big Beautiful Bill". A thousand pages worth of handouts for billionaires, $1 Trillion specifically for Elon Musk, welfare restrictions, and spending cuts designed to force all AMAB transgender people back into the closet, all Brown people out of the country, and all courts to stop holding Trump in contempt. Basically, this is the United States' Enabling Act, since a big part of this bill contains protections for the office of the president when it comes to breaking the law. Essentially, this is the fascist right's attempt to advance all of Trump's agenda at the same time.

So, you know what that means? Time to ring up our senators. It's the Memorial Day weekend right now, so what we need to do is to leave as many voicemail messages as we can so they come back to work on Tuesday and immediately get buried under an avalanche of opposition to HR-1. If you're not sure what to say, here's a start...

Message 1
My name is [name], I live in [place] and my phone number is [number].
I'm calling to urge the senator to block the gross demonstration of government overreach known as HR-1. What the president refers to as the "Big Beautiful Bill" is plainly, simply, bad policy. It will directly result the deaths of countless Americans as it restricts access to medicines, preventative care, and food, and adds complexity to the already complex process of obtaining a post-secondary education. Moreover, it affords the office of the president the power to circumvent the law and continue to ignore court orders with impunity.
This is the worst level of government overreach that this country has ever seen. The senator must not allow this catastrophically harmful bill to advance into law, as it will mean the end for this country.
Again, [restate opening line]. Thank you.

Message 2
This is [name] from [place & zipcode]. My number is [number].
HR-1 is a bad bill. If Joe Biden had tried to force a thing like this through, the senator would have been part of a quorum to have him impeached, removed from office, and arrested. I'm not suggesting impeaching President Trump right now, I'm saying that the senator must not allow this corrupt bill to advance into law. It's harmful, it's wasteful, and it will not benefit anyone except the president and Elon Musk. H-R-One is the worst piece of government overreach ever seen in this country and, if it passes, it will destroy America. Not all at once, but a piece at a time.
Thank you for listening. Again, [restate opening line].

Leave these messages many times. At least once a day. Then, when someone picks up on Tuesday, leave it with them, too. Carry on doing this until Trump's Enabling Act is voted down for all time.
